Overview of heavy-duty load-bearing shelves

Heavy duty load-bearing shelves are designed for medium-strength storage needs, suitable for scenarios that require frequent access and moderate weight of goods. The main body is made of 201 / 304 stainless steel, the thickness of the column is raised to 1.0mm, and the beam is double-welded. The single-layer load-bearing capacity covers 500-600kg, taking into account strength and cost efficiency. The shelf height supports ± 10cm flexible adjustment. Anti-skid strips and corner guards are added on the edge of the laminate to prevent the goods from slipping.

The modular structure design supports horizontal multi-group splicing, which is easy to expand into a storage system, and the reserved width of the forklift channel can be customized. The surface is treated with brushed anti-rust and anti-static coating to withstand the dust and oil environment of the factory workshop and， at the same time， meet the anti-static needs of electronic manufacturing and other scenarios.

Characteristics of heavy load-bearing shelves

High-standard material: The main body is made of 201 / 304 stainless steel, with a column thickness of 1.0mm and a beam thickness of 0.8mm. The corrosion resistance is better than that of conventional steel, and there is no deformation after long-term use.

Load-bearing strengthening: single-layer load-bearing 500-600kg, double-layer reinforcement welding is used at the connection between the beam and the column, which can be adapted to the frequent access operation of forklifts.

Flexible adjustment: every 10cm of floor height is an adjustment unit (± 10cm range), compatible with different height cargo boxes or pallets, and the laminates can be disassembled and replaced.

Loss-proof design: anti-skid rubber strips are installed on the edge of the laminate, and removable anti-collision corners are arranged at the four corners to avoid scratching shelves or personnel during cargo handling.

Environmental adaptation: surface wire drawing treatment anti-rust, optional anti-static coating (surface resistance ≤ 10Ω), suitable for unique environments such as electronic workshops and chemical warehouses.

Easy to expand: support horizontal multi-group splicing, reserve forklift access (default 1.5m, can be customized), single-group shelves can be extended to a continuous storage system.

Quick installation: pre-drilling position design, accessories include labeled screw sets, single-person installation can be completed within 15 minutes, no need for on-site welding.

Application of medium load-bearing shelves

Heavy-duty load-bearing shelves are mainly aimed at scenarios where there is a balance between storage efficiency and load-bearing capacity. They are suitable for high-frequency access to medium-weight goods. Its core applications include:

1. Manufacturing workshop

• Auto parts storage: Store engine components, transmissions, tires and other medium-sized components, and the shelf height can be adapted to different specifications of parts boxes.
• Mold and fixture management: support 500-600kg metal molds, beam anti-skid design to avoid displacement, and cooperate with the workshop forklift to dispatch quickly.

2. Logistics transit warehouse

Standardized pallet temporary storage: bulk storage of electronic products, home appliances and other medium-sized goods, support forklift direct loading and unloading.

• Cross-warehouse operation area: used for sorting and transit, with an open shelf structure for quick code scanning and cargo mobility management.

3. Chemical and food processing

Storage in raw material barrels: 201 Stainless Steel /304 Stainless Steel is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, suitable for layered storage in chemical raw material barrels (200L standard barrels) or food additive containers.

• Clean workshop: Anti-static coating is used in electronic components and precision instrument warehouses to avoid dust adsorption and static interference.

4. Supermarkets and wholesale markets

• Back warehouse inventory optimization: stores seasonal goods (such as holiday gift boxes and promotional beverages), and the laminate load-bearing adapts to the stacking of the whole box of goods (≤ 3 layers).
• Frozen product cold storage: It will not rust for long-term use at -25 ° C and will store frozen food boxes or cold chain packaging boxes.

5. Auto repair and mechanical repair

• Facility Management: Heavy maintenance tools, hydraulic equipment classified shelves, anti-collision corner protection shelves and personnel safety.
• Tire storage: The width of the laminate is suitable for car/SUV tires to be placed vertically, and the single-layer load-bearing supports 20-30 tires to be stacked densely.

6. Medical equipment storage

• Dust-proof storage of medium-sized medical instruments (e.g., ultrasound equipment, surgical carts), surface polishing for easy disinfection and cleaning.

Heavy duty load-bearing shelves FAQ

Q1: Can the shelf come into direct contact with chemical liquids (such as acids and bases)?

• It can withstand weak acid and alkali environments (pH 5-9). If it comes into contact with highly corrosive liquids (such as concentrated sulfuric acid) for a long time. In that case, it is necessary to customize thickened coatings or use PP laminates (at an additional cost).

Q2: Is the connection between the beam and the column easy to loosen?

• With a three-hole bolt reinforcement design and anti-loosening spacer, there is no risk of loosening when the forklift is accessed and operated less than 20 times a day. It is recommended to check the bolt torque (standard value 25N · m) every six months.

Q3: Can the shelf laminate hold special-shaped goods (such as cylindrical barrels)?

• The laminate is equipped with anti-skid strips as standard, which can fix drums with a diameter of more than 300mm; if the diameter of the goods is less than 300mm, a limit bracket needs to be installed (accessory library code: CL-02).

Q4: Does it require special treatment for use in cold storage at -30 ° C?

• The standard model can be directly used in an environment of -30 ° C. Still, in areas where condensate comes into frequent contact (such as the door of the cold storage), it is recommended to choose a low-temperature anti-rust coating (surface freezing point tolerance -50 ° C).

Q5: Can the shelves be integrated with automated storage systems (e.g., AGV trolleys)?

• To support AGV access, the following conditions must be met:
• The spacing of the shelf groups is ≥ 1.8m (to ensure the steering space of the trolley);
• The height of the bottom of the shelf from the ground is ≥ 15cm (compatible with the thickness of mainstream AGV forks).

Q6: How to install uneven ground?

• Provide adjustable anchor bolts (accessory library code: DJ-03), support ± 3cm height compensation, and do ground leveling first when the inclination error is > 3 °.

Q7: How long is the valid period of the anti-static coating?

• Under regular use (without scratching from complex objects), the anti-static performance is maintained for 5-8 years and can be regularly verified by a surface resistance detector (e.g., ME2683A).

Q8: Can the shelves be used in the open air?

• For short-term (< 6 months) open-air storage, a rain shelter needs to be installed; for long-term outdoor use, a custom-made outdoor model is required (zinc-chromium coating is added, and the cost is + 15%).

Q9: What is the maximum expansion length of a single set of shelves?

• Horizontal continuous splicing should not exceed six groups (total length ≤ 12m), and extra long column support should be added (one group every 4m).
